“Alya, I told you to go to sleep-” Jason was saying as he opened the door. Alya froze and spun around to find him staring at her in shock. His face was becoming redder and even she was feeling highly embarrassed.
“Y-y-y-y-you…” he stammered. Alya also stared back at him in horror and quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself.
“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NAKED?” he yelled. Jason immediately turned around to not look at her anymore. His whole face had heated up and he was at a loss. He slept with many women and saw them naked in bed.

There was only one window while the large space was divided into glass cubicles for the employees.There was a small break room at one end while a waiting area was set up next to it. The walls were coated with blue pastel paint which reminded her of the sea but the shade was much lighter.

It was not a smell she was very fond of.She quickly scanned through the glass doors on her way. There were a handful of people in the cubicles, busy poring over stacks of documents or typing away on their laptops. No one spared a glance at her as she made her way towards o
